What’s so special about leather furniture?
Why would I choose it?
Leather has properties which make it superior
to other upholstery materials. Consider the following:
-
Leather
outlasts fabric covering, having an exceptionally long useful
life.
-
It
will not tear and is half again as strong as other upholstery
materials -- even along the seam lines.
-
Colors
are absorbed by the leather and will not rub off or fade.
-
It
is fire resistant and emits no toxic fumes, even when exposed
to intense heat.
-
Modern
leather does not crack or peel. It stretches and retains its
shape without sagging.
-
It
"breathes", assumes body temperature rapidly and is
instantaneously comfortable.
-
It
resists heat and sun damage.
-
Leather
is a practical material, ideal for busy lifestyles. No special
solvents or cleaners and no lengthy or expensive procedures
are necessary for its care.
-
Leather
ages well. It will not wear like fabric covers. Instead, fine
leather acquires a "patina" and may become more supple
with age.
Leather is the most durable upholstery
material, and is very hard to scratch. If something sharp does
scratch or scuff the leather, it is easy to repair using a touch-up
color or a felt tip pen. First try the touch-up on a small sample
of leather or a hidden area to test the color match.
